159. If by rob you mean a reversion to...

pre-1861 policies in relation to Federal treatment of the South and of society in general. If so, then yes, Ron Paul represents 'change' with his "State's Rights" message of you are alone and the government has no right to protect you from capricious State governments then yes, Ron Paul represents that sort of world-view.

Do you think any of these debates are new?

Ron Paul is a member of the John Birch Society in all but name...he's a paranoid conspiracy theorist who has figured out that you can confuse people if you say a couple things they might like: end U.S. imperialism and end the War on Drugs, btw - if you get sick, don't look to government, just go home and die.
